ABSTRACT

The apparatus for processing synthetic thermoplastic material includes a receiving container, containing a disintegrating and blending member, which is disposed near the bottom of the container and which rotates about the axis of the container and with which a screw extruder is in flow connection through an opening in the wall of the container. For a trouble-free, absolutely even and continuous charging of the screw extruder, irrespective of temperature and rotational speed, the arrangement is such that the cylinder, surrounding the extruder screw of the screw extruder, opens out with its front-end charging opening at least approximately tangentially in the inside wall of the receiving container.
